ICTP 2018

Fundamental Methods for Atomic, Molecular and Materials Properties in Plasma Environments

This joint IAEA-ICTP School and Workshop, which was held 16 – 20 April 2018, provided training and information exchange for computational scientists working on models and data for atomic, molecular and materials processes relevant to fusion energy research, industrial plasmas, laser-produced plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, and warm and hot dense matter.

This training activity is aimed at advanced graduate students, postdocs and other young researchers. The information exchange will span several disciplines: from molecules to materials and from method developments to data treatments. Topics related to energetic events and excited electronic states are emphasized throughout the programme. The schedule features lectures by international experts, invited and contributed research talks, posters and discussion sessions, with ample time available for interaction and discussions.

Further details about this event are available on the ICTP website.

Purpose

Atomic and molecular processes, plasma-material interaction and material properties are extremely important in plasma applications including fusion energy research, astrophysical science, laser- produced plasmas and other plasma environments and their investigation requires sophisticated methods for electronic structure computations and nuclear dynamics. Electronic structure theory is at the core of all investigations and one common thread throughout the applications for plasma environments is the need to consider excited electronic states. Essentially every atomic or molecular collision process that is of interest has the possibility of charge transfer, and it means that at least two electronic states are relevant, while for the case of electron-atom and electron-molecule collisions there is no a priori bound to the number of relevant electronic states. For high energy particle-material interactions, including radiation damage processes, the treatment of electronic excitation is a particular challenge that is the subject of active fundamental work. A second common thread that will be emphasized in this school and workshop is the need to provide uncertainty estimates for computed data. In many cases development of the basic tools for uncertainty assessment for computed data is a topic of active research.

A broad community is involved in the development of atomic, molecular and materials data for plasma applications, ranging from those that do fundamental methods development to those that perform the best possible applied computations. Both on the side of methods development and on the side of applications there is significant overlap between the molecular and the materials side, especially as fundamental electronic structure methods for atoms and molecules are increasingly being applied for materials as well. The school and workshop will assemble a cross section of this broad community. The programme will feature lectures on fundamental methods, a few survey talks on applications, and contributed talks and posters ranging from methods development to significant applications.

Topics

  • Advanced electronic structure methods: Equation-of-motion and other wavefunction-based methods for excited electronic states. Coupled cluster methods applied to solids. State-of-the art methods for alloys and liquid metals. New developments based on reduced density matrices and the density matrix renormalization group.
  • Nuclear dynamics: Quantum treatments of scattering. Path integral molecular dynamics including treatment of multiple electronic surfaces. Determination of reaction rates beyond Arrhenius scaling.
  • Potential energy and property surfaces: Machine-learning and kernel-based methods. Methods for multiple electronic states and their interactions.
  • Uncertainty assessment and uncertainty propagation: Uncertainty correlations and other topics.
  • Applications: Electronic and atomic collisions in plasmas. Plasma-material interaction and radiation damage of materials.

Institute Colloquium

Invited speaker Professor Robin Santra of the Centre for Free-Electron Laser Science - DESY and Department of Physics, University of Hamburg, Germany, will also present an ICTP Institute Colloqium on Tuesday 17 April 2018 on the topic Atoms in Intense Light Fields.

Side Event: Resonances in Nature

Invited speaker Professor Nimrod Moiseyev of Technion in Israel will organize a mini-course on Resonances in Nature based on his book Non-Hermitean Quantum Mechanics (CUP, 2011). The event will take place on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons after the main programme of talks. The mini-course is concerned with resonance phenomena as they appear in different fields of atomic, molecular and optical sciences. In exercises participants will run interactive codes that explain the resonance tunneling phenomenon.
